Traditional fishing trap

A traditional fishing trap is a device designed to catch fish by guiding them into a confined space from which they cannot easily escape. Usually made from natural or locally available materials like reeds, bamboo, or wire, these traps are shaped like cages or funnels. Fish swim into the trap attracted by bait or their natural curiosity, but the entrance design prevents them from leaving. They are often set at specific locations such as riverbanks, lakeshores, or coral reefs and are used with minimal environmental impact. This method is sustainable, cost-effective, and relies on understanding fish behavior and local resources.
